Rose cut diamonds:

The standard rose cut, also called the Dutch rose cut, has 24 triangular facets:6 star facets meeting at a point at the top and 18 cross facets. Due to the absence of pavilion, many rose cuts are foiled back with a silver foil reflector.The rose cut is said to have been developed in Holland during the 17th century, but may have been used earlier in India in a cruder way. The rose cut lost popularity in the early18th century, when the brilliant cut was invented. But the beginning of the 20th century saw a slight revival of the cut. In those days, when there would be too much weight loss ifa stone was to be polished into a brilliant, people might opt for one or two rose cuts. When the stone is cut so that it is in the form of two rose-cut stones placed base to base,it is called a double rose cut. Sometimes, the rose cut hasbeen used for stones set in jewelry when the designer, such as Fabergé, wished the other ornamentation todominate. Famous rose-cut diamonds include "the Great Mogul" and "the Orlov".Usually, when speaking about a rose cut, people refer to a cone-shaped diamond (or an other prescribed symmetrical form) featuring a variable number of facets (usually two horizontalrows rising to a point) and a flat bottom (which means no pavilion).It is important to bear on mind that the rose cut is first of all a cut. It is like the emerald cut. You can have emerald cuts as diamonds, as emerald or as diamond. And it also applies forrose cuts. You can have garnet rose cuts, as well as diamond rose cuts. This is important since knowing that helps avoiding a frequent misuse of the vocable rose cut.Further more, the word "rose" itself could also be misleading as it comes from the flower, the "rose" and means "pink". Therefore, when you find an object that is described as featuring rosecuts, without further information, do not take it for granted and make sure that the stones are cut in diamond or check their color. A rose-cut diamond is also known as a Rose Diamond.There are several varieties of rose cuts:Brabant rose cut (or Antwerp rose cut)rose recoupée cutcross rose cutsix-facets rosethree-facets rosemode rosechiffrevarieties of the brilliant having a flat base: marquise rose cut and the pendeloque rose cut
